<title>powerpc: Add ppc64 hard lockup detector support</title>

<content type='text'>
The hard lockup detector uses a PMU event as a periodic NMI to
detect if we are stuck (where stuck means no timer interrupts have
occurred).

Ben's rework of the ppc64 soft disable code has made ppc64 PMU
exceptions a partial NMI. They can get disabled if an external
interrupt comes in, but otherwise PMU interrupts will fire in
interrupt disabled regions.

We disable the hard lockup detector by default for a few reasons:

- It breaks userspace event based branches on POWER8.
- It is likely to produce false positives on KVM guests.
- Since PMCs can only count to 2^31, counting cycles means we might
  take multiple PMU exceptions per second per hardware thread even
  if our hard lockup timeout is 10 seconds.

It can be enabled via a boot option, or via procfs.

<title>powerpc: Remove more traces of bootmem</title>

<id>e39f223fc93580c86ccf6b3422033e349f57f0dd</id>
<content type='text'>
Although we are now selecting NO_BOOTMEM, we still have some traces of
bootmem lying around. That is because even with NO_BOOTMEM there is
still a shim that converts bootmem calls into memblock calls, but
ultimately we want to remove all traces of bootmem.

Most of the patch is conversions from alloc_bootmem() to
memblock_virt_alloc(). In general a call such as:

  p = (struct foo *)alloc_bootmem(x);

Becomes:

  p = memblock_virt_alloc(x, 0);

We don't need the cast because memblock_virt_alloc() returns a void *.
The alignment value of zero tells memblock to use the default alignment,
which is SMP_CACHE_BYTES, the same value alloc_bootmem() uses.

We remove a number of NULL checks on the result of
memblock_virt_alloc(). That is because memblock_virt_alloc() will panic
if it can't allocate, in exactly the same way as alloc_bootmem(), so the
NULL checks are and always have been redundant.

The memory returned by memblock_virt_alloc() is already zeroed, so we
remove several memsets of the result of memblock_virt_alloc().

Finally we convert a few uses of __alloc_bootmem(x, y, MAX_DMA_ADDRESS)
to just plain memblock_virt_alloc(). We don't use memblock_alloc_base()
because MAX_DMA_ADDRESS is ~0ul on powerpc, so limiting the allocation
to that is pointless, 16XB ought to be enough for anyone.

At the moment we transition from the memblock alloctor to the bootmem
allocator. Gitting rid of the bootmem allocator removes a bunch of
complicated code (most of which I owe the dubious honour of being
responsible for writing).

At boot we display a bunch of low level settings which can be useful to
know, and can help to spot bugs when things are fundamentally
misconfigured.

At the moment they are very widely spaced, so that we can accommodate
the line:

  ppc64_caches.dcache_line_size = 0xYY

But we only print that line when the cache line size is not 128, ie.
almost never, so it just makes the display look odd usually.

The ppc64_caches prefix is redundant so remove it, which means we can
align things a bit closer for the common case. While we're there
replace the last use of camelCase (physicalMemorySize), and use
phys_mem_size.

At boot we display a bunch of low level settings which can be useful to
know, and can help to spot bugs when things are fundamentally
misconfigured.

At the moment they are very widely spaced, so that we can accommodate
the line:

  ppc64_caches.dcache_line_size = 0xYY

But we only print that line when the cache line size is not 128, ie.
almost never, so it just makes the display look odd usually.
